Answer:

the probability is 0.6293

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability is shown below:

Given that

n = 5

P = 0.18

As it represents the  binomial distribution

P(X = x) =  [tex]^NC_x[/tex]× p^x × (1 - p) ^(n - x)

P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X < 1)

= 1 - P(X = 0)

= 1 - ( [tex]^5C_0[/tex]× (0.18) ^0 × (0.82) ^5)

= 1 - 0.3707

= 0.6293

hence, the probability is 0.6293
